Everything You Need To Know About Chanel’s 2018/19 Cruise Collection

They truly pushed the boat out.

Prior to the weekend just gone, the majority of my knowledge concerning cruises came via the stories of my 86-year-old grandma, a self-proclaimed cruise-enthusiast. From this day forward, however, whenever I hear the word ‘cruise’, my mind will be sure to drift to Chanel’s spectacular Cruise 2018/19 Collection, which went down in Paris over the weekend. Quite literally held on a giant faux cruise liner (titled the ‘La Pausa’), inside the inimitable Le Grand Palais, the show was the most extra, most spectacular event our eyes have been made privy to in a v long time.

The set was truly mind-bending (see above for proof), the clothes made us want to pack up shop and set off on a yacht headed straight for the French Riviera, the playlist was packed with disco jams, and the front row was dotted with a bunch of our fave celebs. With all due respect to my grandmother and her thrilling tales of the high sea, the only cruise I’d ever want to embark on from hereon in is a Chanel-themed one.

Pop on a face mask, sink further down into your chair, and let’s reflect back on all the key takeaways from Chanel’s truly jaw-dropping Cruise 2018/19 Collection (before watching it in its entirety below)!

Ultimate sweetheart, Lily-Rose Depp, has been a favey of the fashion house for a minute now. And for good reason—the lil’ angel literally shone on the night, wearing the metallic mini dress of our dreamz with matching heels. Ily!

Margot Robbie is an incredible actress (still scooping my jaw off the floor after I Tonya, tbh), a natural beauty, and, as evidenced by her efforts at Chanel over the weekend, an absolute pro at smizing/owning a media wall. *Brb, going to practice this in front of a mirror for the next time a camera is pointed in my direction.*

So many Aussie babes, so little time. Phoebe Tonkin is another front row favourite for Chanel, and it makes perf sense. She looked like an understated earth angel in a tonal tweed dress from the label.

Two words: friendship goals.

Pedal Pushers Made Their Triumphant Return

The return of the Capri pant has been on the horizon for a minute, and now it’s officially official: the pant generally favoured by mum’s and your tweenage self in the early 00s are about to be everywhere. Go on, and set those calves free!

Sea-themed accessories are so hot right now. This bag, in all its nautical glory, proves just why.

Mary Janes Were Solidified As The Shoe Of The Moment

Mary Janes are also ~trending~ at the moment. But, unlike the Maryam Nassir Zadeh and Carel iterations that are clogging your Instagram feed, Karl Lagerfeld opted for the shoe in white and silver. Très chic.

Older sis Gigi Hadid took to the runway in a very classic Chanel tweed skirt suit, while baby Bella was dressed in an #edgy royal blue cropped jacket and high-waisted pants. Needless to say, they both looked fi-yah.
